Bliss
1. Tenneb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could change the fact
That I'm just a hypocrite
I might've shown more tact
And meant every word of it
And I've been sorry
I've been so fucking sorry
That I've been killing off my body
I really know I need to act my age
But I'm just fucking afraid
I should be pushing up daisies
And I know that I can't run that fast
But I can still look past
And Keep ignoring the facts for now
Pull the gun; become iconoclast
Put it to my temple and blast
But I'm still floating here somehow
It's all pretend
I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause
Looking for something bliss
Sitting alone how do I move on
From this broken home?
The killing disease, infectious pleads
Let me cure my soul
And find a place I can call home
It's all pretend
I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause
Looking for something bliss
It's never easy saying "fuck It, I'm over it"
Fail to tell the truth
Cause lies always seem to fit
Pull it out, pull the knife out
It's misleading me somehow
I don't care
Just how it feels
To lay beneath
It always feels
Like I can't breathe
Cause everything
Is smothering me
It's all pretend
I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause
Looking for something bliss
Sitting alone how do I move on
From this broken home?
The killing disease, infectious pleads
Let me cure my soul
And find a place I can call home
It's all pretend
I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause
Looking for something bliss
It's all pretend I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause Looking for something bliss
It's all pretend I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause Looking for something bliss
It's all pretend I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause Looking for something bliss




It's all pretend I didn't live, didn't exist
I'm just a lost cause Looking for something bliss

Overall Meaning

In Tennéb's song "Bliss," the lyrics convey the struggles of dealing with insecurities, a killing disease, and the longing for something that can provide escape and comfort. The artist seems to be grappling with the fact that they are a hypocrite and have not always shown tact or sincerity in their actions and words. They express remorse for the harm they have done to their own body but also acknowledge their fear of facing the truth and the consequences of their actions.


The idea of pretending to not exist or living in a world of make-believe seems to be a recurring theme throughout the song. Tennéb sings about looking for something blissful that can provide a sense of home and belonging but failing to find it. The image of being a lost cause is strong throughout the lyrics, as if the artist is giving up hope on finding salvation. The phrase "it's all pretend" is repeated several times, highlighting a feeling of disillusionment and disconnection, almost as if Tennéb is trying to convince themselves that what they are experiencing is not real.


Overall, the song leaves a sense of melancholy and desperation, with the artist struggling to find a way forward and feeling trapped in a cycle of self-destructive behavior.


Line by Line Meaning

If I could change the fact
If I had the power to alter reality


That I'm just a hypocrite
That I am not true to my beliefs


I might've shown more tact
I could have been more considerate


And meant every word of it
And truly believed in what I said


And I've been sorry
And I have expressed remorse


I've been so fucking sorry
I have deeply regretted my actions


That I've been killing off my body
That I have been damaging my health


I really know I need to act my age
I am aware that I should behave more maturely


But I'm just fucking afraid
But I am overcome with fear


I should be pushing up daisies
I should be dead


And I know that I can't run that fast
And I am aware that I cannot escape my problems easily


But I can still look past
But I can still ignore what's in front of me


And Keep ignoring the facts for now
And continue to refuse to acknowledge the truth at the moment


Pull the gun; become iconoclast
Take a gun and rebel against society's norms


Put it to my temple and blast
Point the gun at my head and shoot


But I'm still floating here somehow
But I am still alive and not yet dead


It's all pretend
My life feels like a facade


I didn't live, didn't exist
I feel like I have not truly lived or existed


I'm just a lost cause
I feel like I am beyond help


Looking for something bliss
Searching for a state of happiness


Sitting alone how do I move on
Feeling helpless and unable to move forward


From this broken home?
From this dysfunctional living environment


The killing disease, infectious pleads
The destructive illness and desperate cries for help


Let me cure my soul
Allow me to heal my inner being


And find a place I can call home
And discover a sense of belonging


It's never easy saying "fuck It, I'm over it"
It's never easy to give up and move on


Fail to tell the truth
Unable to speak the truth


Cause lies always seem to fit
Because lies are easier to accept and believe in


Pull it out, pull the knife out
Remove the object that is causing pain


It's misleading me somehow
It is leading me astray


I don't care
I am indifferent


Just how it feels
Only caring about my emotions


To lay beneath
To be in a state of emotional distress


It always feels
It consistently feels this way


Like I can't breathe
Like I am suffocating


Cause everything
Because of everything


Is smothering me
Everything feels overwhelming and suffocating

THIS IS ACTUALLY GETTING AN ANIME ADAPTATION AND UMEKOTA ARE THE VOICES FOR THE MAIN DUO I'M GONNA CRY THEY COULDN'T HAVE PICKED ANYONE BETTER FOR THESE ROLES!! ALSO SHIMONO HIRO BEING HAKUTO I'LL GENUINELY D WORD OF CUTENESS

KuroiandNoukon

From the chapters I've found online and read, there's one character who's explicitly bisexual and his actions could be read as romantically interested. However the comic reads as cutesy refreshing in the shojo style rather than romantic. There's a lot of exclaiming of how the other characters are adorable despite them all being working age males.

I am interested, what's the title of this anime and is this straight romance or----?

Roy Hamid
